gourmet gifts

I'd venture to say that the majority of the people that follow along on this blog are "creative types." Ladies who like to make things with their hands, give gifts that are handmade, and who love thinking up new things to create. Christmas is only a mere two months away and so it's time for you to start thinking about those gifts you'll be making for your loved ones this year!

I always struggle with making things for family & friends. What fabric do I use? Will they even use this? How big of handbag will they carry? Will this potholder match their kitchen?

However, one thing is for sure. Everyone likes food and it isn't difficult to find out "tastes" regarding food & tasty treats. That's where this book, Gourmet Gifts, comes along. Dinah Corley, the author of this beautiful book, has written an amazing go-to gift guide for gifts that are both edible and thoughtful.

From the recipes to the packaging, this book is a really great resource to have on-hand when trying to come up with unique and delicious Hostess, Teacher, and Christmas gifts, along with Get Well Soon packages and "Thinking of You" surprises.

I'm really looking forward to trying an abundance of these ideas, especially the Cardamom Coffee Can Cake and the Chalkboard Cheese Board. The book in itself would be an excellent gift, don't you think?
